A team of Australian high school students recreated the drug Daraprim for just $2 a pill in order to prove how cheap it is to make. Last fall, U.S. biotech executive Martin Shkreli sparked outrage when he boosted the price of the drug by more than 4,000 percent, to $750 a pill. The drug is used to treat toxoplasmosis, which can be a life-threatening for pregnant women and people with weakened immune systems, such as those with HIV or AIDS, the Washington Post reported. In Australia, 50 tablets of the drug can be bought for $13. The 11th grade students spent about $15 on the ingredients required to produce 3.7 grams of Daraprim, about $100,000 worth of the drug in the U.S. market, according to Alice Williamson, a postdoctoral teaching fellow at the University of Sydney. She teamed up with the high school students and their science teachers. There are no plans to sell the drug. Williams said the objective of the project was to send a message to drug companies -- particularly those in the U.S. -- that high drug prices are not always justified, the Post reported.http://www.newsmax.com/Health/Health-New.../id/761791
Let them develop a pill that will treat some disease for 2-15 dollars. It will be well over the cost of ingredients. Clinical trials, FDA approval cost a lot of $$$$$$$$. Not saying they should have a 100000% mark up but if they are not allowed to recover their discovery cost why would any company spend time and money developing new drugs?
bc that's what is prescribed by conventional medicine, drugs (actually chemicals).
....and the efficacy of these "chemicals" have been rigorously tested for safety and efficacy - what we call good science, not the pseudoscience of many alternative therapies.http://ibb.co/cH68Dv
Rigorously tested for safety and efficacy..........
Yes sir, that's what I said.If/when you or a family member gets gravely ill, I hope you'll have enough sense to rely on "conventional medicine" rather than just taking a cold shower.
Something that requires treatment of the pathophysiology rather than the symptomatic relief afforded by placebo. (...and before you try to educate me on this, yes, I believe placebo effect is real)
I love it when people recoil in horror when "Chemicals" are mentioned.You and I and most of the environment we live in are made up of or infused with chemicals.It's what we're made of.Lannis
Yet you are totally against the use of alcohol, which is a natural chemical within the human body called ethanol. "Every living human body continuously produces ethanol (beverage alcohol) 24/7. It's called endogenous ethanol production. Human life does not exist without the presence of alcohol".
True , microbes in the gut do produce ethanol , catch is , the quantities amount to about 1 ounce of beer . Let's please at least attempt to stick to facts here . As for prescription drugs , some are very helpful , some are pretty damned destructive . Dusty
Nay, lad, I am 100% in favor of endogenous ethanol production by my body, for use in the chemical processes that are part of me, and I recognize that human life wouldn't be possible without it.Have I ever said anything different? It would be kind of silly if I did.Now what about you being against drugs that contain "Chemicals"? Lannis
Fact: The human body produces its own supply of alcohol naturally on a continuous basis, 24 hours a day, seven days a week. It�s called endogenous ethanol production. Therefore, we always have alcohol in our bodies and in some cases people produce enough to become legally intoxicated and arrested for DUI. 3
Even in the rare cases of extreme endogenous ethanol production it is still barely measurable in blood tests , and not at all in breath testing . So once again , let's please stick to facts . Dusty
"Some are pretty damned destructive" (Dusty).
Yes , some are , but you left out the first part of the quote , which means you are quoting me out of context . Dusty
I have a real problem with WG being used as a place to promulgate myths . This isn't FB , or some bloggers site . Dusty
I still chuckle when I remember one of Willard Scott's , tv centennials reply when asked his secret to long health at 102. The gentleman's answer after some thought was " be polite"
